I performed as a stuntman in this film. Spent 5 weeks in a tent on the old Bracketville set. Played one of Ray Hrbeck's "good Mexican Soldado's" Also played a Texian in a few scenes. I was the jig dancer that performed with the little girl and handed her off to Davy Crockett.
Thank you so much for posting this. My father was in this movie and he passed from Cancer 3 years ago. He would play a Texian one day and a Mexican Soldier the next.
Oh wow! That’s amazing! My father was in this movie as well. He played a Mexican soldier and would always point out the scenes he appeared in. He sadly passed as well this past December. In the battle, you can see him at 4:35. He’s the Mexican soldier yelling, “a la derecha, andale!” Which means, “to the right, go!

I have loved reading about the Alamo since I was a kid and have most the books and related things on the battle,I have never seen this IMAX film but have read about it many times. This was an outstanding presentation,and I'm so happy to have finally seen it, thanks for posting.
Such an emotional video! - The Mexican soldier asking for a prayer for his brother, who is inside the Alamo. - The men in the dispensary and Jim Bowie fighting to the end. - Mayhem and chaos on both sides. Remember the Alamo!
It's not bad at all. Very amazing. You could tell the movie set rhey used for this was the old ranch from John Wayne's movie. Amazing how the historical accounts take place from 5 a.m until the sun comes out
This movie “The Price of Freedom”, is by far the best rendering of the battle of the Alamo! Produced in 1987 . Filmed at the Alamo Village at Brackettville Texas, at the site where in 1960 John Wayne had the set built for his great movie This great to be able to see this movie now on UA-cam. I have seen this movie 8-15 times in San Antonio, Texas at the IMAX built for this movie . I shall view it again on March 6,2023. I will remember the Alamo!
@@thecowboy9698 yes I did see the latest movie. Parts of it was real good. Other parts were basically uncalled. May it should have been titled “ SAM HOUSTON and the alamo”. To bad they spent so much time with Sam. They could’ve covered the “ Come and take it” Incident at Gonzalez in 1835. Then a great incident with the Mexican army fight for San Antonio. That would have added more to why they were fighting, but they go back to Sam. A wast of a good Opportunity to set a better picture and make a better movie.

Not a bad choreography and sticks well to what historians say about the time around 5 am when the attack took place.

I’m amazed that Davy Crockett and his Tennesseans managed to hold the palisade wall pretty well especially the Tejanos held their palisade in front of the main gate. 5:24, 5:40, 6:557:43.
I understand that Travis was the first defender to be killed in battle but when I watched the film and this scene 3:35 showed three men next to Travis at the northwall were killed while Travis is still fighting. I think colonel James C. Neill should refortify the northwall better because theirs one weak spot that made it easier for the Mexicans to breach the wall 4:22 and 4:28.
Yes in the movie but in real life he ran and got caught and executed along with Travis and a few others it's not shameful to run when you can't win its called survival
The irony is that Mexico invited the Texicans into that territory to settle and deal with the Comanches for them and it sort of got out of hand. This is not unlike the Romans allowing Germanics to enter into their Gallic Provinces or today's open border policies.
It can be laid at the feet of Santa Anna, who was a tinpot dictator, who basically jettisoned the Mexican Constitution and imposed a despotic government, a military dictatorship and proclaimed himself "Supreme Ruler" it wasn't Americans against Mexicans, it was the citizens of Tejas and Coahuila against Santa Anna's centrist government, look at what he did in Zacatecas in April 1835.

@@rogerborroel4707 you’re terribly wrong. The battle lasted an hour and a half. Mexican numbers were at least 1,800 maybe a little more and the Mexican assault force suffered around 600 to 650 casualties. Most of those were from grapeshot while getting to the fortifications. Several of the Mexican columns had half their numbers taken out by grapeshot.
@@johnmartin2309 And your sources? Not newspaper embellished accounts, but REAL sources. Your information comes from fiction on the Alamo death struggle.
I read the there were about 25 tejanos that were part of the Alamo Garrison with the fighting was all over nine Tejanos were among the casualties. The other 16? When the Siege started there were 25 inside the Alamo . When the fighting was over there was 9 Tejanos among the casualties. Col. Travis Sent out a number of messagers the first few days, sometimes three, four or five. Col. Travis took advantage of the Tejanos, they could slip through the Mexican lines far easier. They were Mexicans, they could speak Spanish more Fluently and the white messengers could so they could slip through the lines very easy. That last two messengers were both Tejanos. After they delivered their messages, they wanted to return to the Alamo, General Sam Houston want to keep them with him. His plans were changing, Santa Anna’s troops were not all there yet. Right now he needed an army. Houston was getting volunteers but they needed to be trained. The Tejanos were doing their part to fight for freedo.
Juan Seguin did deliver his messages. He met with Sam Houston. He wanted to return to the Alamo. Houston said no. Houston wanted Seguin there with him, he wouldn’t let Seguin return. He was trying to raise more Tejanos to join the fight for Texas to be free.Houston figured that if Seguin was with him, he might be able to raise more Mexicans to fight for themselves also. Get out from Santa Anna control. Juan Seguin did return about a year and a half, to gather what ashes, he could then give them a proper burial.
@@rogerross6583 Not true, Juan Seguin was on his way back to the Alamo with a company of 25 men, they ran into Horace Alsbury with a company of 12 men and they decided to wait on Cibolo creek and join Fannins reinforcements , Fannin didn't come and the Alamo fell before they could get back there, you described a scene from the 2004 Alamo movie which is full of things that didn't happen or didn't happen the way they were portrayed .
I don’t rely on movies to teach me history I read I read as many books as I can about the subject before I make any statements. The last two at Connell’s was once again in one of his men that left the Alamo, the actual last man that did leave the animal war, James out and that is true very seldom. Do you find a movie that portrays history the way it actually was very rare. Hollywood has done much to twist history for many people. Don’t know what is actually true. That’s where reading makes a big difference on what you’re learning
If every Texan at the Alamo had a Ruger 10/22 with about 300 rounds each (10 - 30rd mags) what do you think would of happened to the Mexican army? makes ya think right?
No doubt a horrific battle as prisoners were not taken. Defenders in the area of 200 trying to defend a large wide position against an attacking force in the early dawn of more than 2,000 mexican regulars crack troops. The main problem for the alamo defense was the wide area of defense. There simply was not enough men to defend the area. A smaller area might have been easier interestingly. A good case in point is the defense Roarks drift by the british against a much larger Zulu force. Of course in their advantage was their british breech loaders rifles.
Nicely done, although I think it took three charges by Santa Anna's forces to break the Alamo defenders. The Mexicans were charging a fortified strong point frontally--not a very good idea. They were from an agricultural society, and the were using smooth bore Brown Bess muskets against people from a hunting society with rifles. Then too, Santa Anna was generous with the lives of his troops, and medical attention for their wounded was poor. The two best traditional studies I know of are by Lon Tinkle and John Myers Myers, if you want to read up on it. The de la Pena diary stirred things up by saying Crockett was captured alive--although he does not say anything derogatory about Crockett--quite the opposite. Myers' account says this was a made up story by a kid to entertain tourists. We'll never know all the details for sure. Accounts are contradictory and uneven. It was democracy vs. dictatorship, however, and if you'd vote for Santa Anna, you'd vote for anybody.
Democracy for whom? Texans fought and died for several reasons. One was because the Mexicans would not allow them to own slaves. Slavery and democracy do not exactly to hand in hand. Texas has done a very good job of covering over some of the less appealing sides of the 'fight for freedom'.
@@rogerborroel4707 "where Travis committed suicide." - - - and that was proven when? There have been numerous accounts of how Travis, Crockett, etc died, and NONE have been proven to be factual. When it comes to the Alamo siege, there is ONLY conjecture.
@@sjames304 That Travis committed suicide at the north wall was proven on the day of the battle! And it was told to Houston at Gonzales a week later by two of Col. Seguin's men, Andres Barcena & Anselmo Vergara. And Houston believe and even wrote about it to his friend! You need to stop watching Alamo movies and do some serious Alamo research, because you have shown a serious lack of it!
The alamo defenders should have went to Goliad more combined force would've held longer, in my opinion the alamo defenders were lied to why else would they have stayed . It made no sense for the alamo to be defended when goliad was behind them
It is a fairly well done scene, although with certain historical errors, Travis, for example, died in the initial moments of the assault due to a bullet he received in the forehead. They exaggerate the number of Mexican losses too much, there seems to be hundreds of deaths, the reality is that the most realistic and modern estimates show casualty figures for the Mexican army that leave them at 60-80 dead and twice as many wounded, without mentioning that the compañero Who says that the battle lasted 90 minutes is wrong, the massacre, because it was a massacre that lasted just over 25 minutes, including the search for the wounded and subsequent executions. Sadly, the defenders of the Alamo did not inflict the casualties or damage on Santa Anna that the Americans like to believe.
According to Stephen Hardin's "Texian Iliad", the Alamo garrison was alerted to the Mexicans' presence when one of the soldiers in the assault columns shouted, "¡Viva Santa Anna!" and hundreds of other Mexicans soldiers repeated the cry. Santa Anna was incensed because he believed the shouting would alert the Texans, which it did. (Close to what the movie shows, but not quite.) So the Texans the chance to inflict heavy casualties on the Mexican columns before they made their way into the Alamo. Stephen Hardin believes as many as six hundred Mexican soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle, "one third of the assault force, which had been composed of Santa Anna's best battalions." A survivor said, "With another such victory, we will all go to the devil."
Yes, 60 Mexican soldiers died outright on the battlefield, however during the next two week another 50 died of wounds. About 110 died and there were about 200 wounded who lived after the battle.
@@rogerborroel4707 I see you have bought into the revisionist history. Those numbers are wrong. One cannon blast from the Alamo filled with grapeshot would kill and maim over 60 soldiers. There is little logic applied to your version.
@@mercedesgonzalez1658 The proof was given on the day of the battle, not 40 or so years later. Two soldiers under the command of Colonel Juan Seguin, who were in the town, reported it. Here are their names: Anselmo Vergara & Andres Barcena.
@@mercedesgonzalez1658 No doubt they received the data from someone that day while they were still there. But it's credible simply because it was given on the day of the battle, and why would the Texan's Mexican allies said that in the first place? I researched their Texan army records, and they were still a part of the Texan army until 1839 - both loyal to the new nation of Texas. As for "living witnesses" there were plenty, members of the Mexican army who took part in the battle who later gave their accounts. Plus there were 18 civilian survivors too.
It's about time that we have some type of Memorial for the Mexican troops who die in the battle; it's WAY overdue folks! They are the heroes for defending their country against illegal aliens from the States.
The Alamo, when Texans and Tejanos fought Mexico to have the freedom to keep slaves. Santa Ana was there to enforce the abolition of slavery in Mexico’s Northern state of Texas. Only one Tejano signer on the document for the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, which protected the rights to keep slaves, and prohibited Indians and Africans from living freely in the country or from becoming citizens, as neither owner or the Texas Congress would allow emancipation of slaves. Nor could the descendants of Africans or Indians become citizens.
@@roberdink Really none, however, certain portions of the battle scenes in Alamo 2004 were on the mark, but not all. The lousiest scene was of Crockett dying that way, no Mexican witness describes that. Crockett was found in back of the Long Barrack and brought to Santa Anna as he was making a victory speech. Witnesses state that he and several others were killed within moments by swords and bayonets. Remember, of the 253 Alamo defenders, at least 125 (est.) jumped from the east walls and died under the lancers of General Sesma's cavalrymen. The battle THERE was just as intense as the Alamo defenders sought to fight to survive, it must have been a desperate death struggle outside those Alamo walls.
@@roberdink period films are hard to make. I think the last film that was made was a alot better this one.this one is not so great. but I think the best one has not been made yet.
Wrong! 5 other Mexican states were also under rebellion. Santa Anna had thrown out the Constitution of 1824 and declared himself dictator. Your false narrative is complete BS. Learn some history. Both Spain and Mexico had recruited Anglo settlers as a buffer to the Comanches.
@@joewatson7676The Mexican government had outlawed slavery so that would have stymied Texan intentions to import black slaves for their future plantation plans.
@@joewatson7676 A whole bunch of Anglos came to Texas to start new lives then suddenly realised they were being oppressed by the Mexican dictator Santa Anna. Is that what you reckon happened. 😄

I read the there were about 25 tejanos that were part of the Alamo Garrison with the fighting was all over nine Tejanos were among the casualties. The other 16? When the Siege started there were 25 inside the Alamo . When the fighting was over there was 9 Tejanos among the casualties. Col. Travis
Sent out a number of messagers the first few days, sometimes three, four or five. Col. Travis took advantage of the Tejanos, they could slip through the Mexican lines far easier. They were Mexicans, they could speak Spanish more Fluently and the white messengers could so they could slip through the lines very easy. That last two messengers were both Tejanos. After they delivered their messages, they wanted to return to the Alamo, General Sam Houston want to keep them with him. His plans were changing, Santa Anna’s troops were not all there yet. Right now he needed an army. Houston was getting volunteers but they needed to be trained. The Tejanos were doing their part to fight for freedo.
The last messenger was James L. Allen, and contrary to some movies Capt. Juan Seguin was on his way back to the Alamo with a company of 25 men.
Juan Seguin did deliver his messages. He met with Sam Houston. He wanted to return to the Alamo. Houston said no. Houston wanted Seguin there with him, he wouldn’t let Seguin return. He was trying to raise more Tejanos to join the fight for Texas to be free.Houston figured that if Seguin was with him, he might be able to raise more Mexicans to fight for themselves also. Get out from Santa Anna control. Juan Seguin did return about a year and a half, to gather what ashes, he could then give them a proper burial.
@@rogerross6583 Not true, Juan Seguin was on his way back to the Alamo with a company of 25 men, they ran into Horace Alsbury with a company of 12 men and they decided to wait on Cibolo creek and join Fannins reinforcements , Fannin didn't come and the Alamo fell before they could get back there, you described a scene from the 2004 Alamo movie which is full of things that didn't happen or didn't happen the way they were portrayed .
I don’t rely on movies to teach me history I read I read as many books as I can about the subject before I make any statements. The last two at Connell’s was once again in one of his men that left the Alamo, the actual last man that did leave the animal war, James out and that is true very seldom. Do you find a movie that portrays history the way it actually was very rare. Hollywood has done much to twist history for many people. Don’t know what is actually true. That’s where reading makes a big difference on what you’re learning
IIRR, for every 1 Texan, 7 Mexican soldiers died in that final assault.
Only 60 Mexican soldiers died outright on the battlefield, and the defenders numbered 253 behind a good fortress, and they still lost.
High walls and US manufactured guns
True patriots that fought till the end! Texans got their revenge! 😉
And now Texas is under rule of Biden lol
If every Texan at the Alamo had a Ruger 10/22 with about 300 rounds each (10 - 30rd mags) what do you think would of happened to the Mexican army? makes ya think right?
The irony is that it is illegal to photograph or film the Alamo now. You must pay extortionate prices for government sanctioned photos.
8:37 Davy Crocketts death
No doubt a horrific battle as prisoners were not taken. Defenders in the area of 200 trying to defend a large wide position against an attacking force in the early dawn of more than 2,000 mexican regulars crack troops. The main problem for the alamo defense was the wide area of defense. There simply was not enough men to defend the area. A smaller area might have been easier interestingly. A good case in point is the defense Roarks drift by the british against a much larger Zulu force. Of course in their advantage was their british breech loaders rifles.
Freedom. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Texas at the time Mexican territory?
Texans and my Tejano ancestors were united in their struggle for Independence.

Which Santa Anna? The one who killed Mexicans during their War of Independence, or the one who proclaimed himself President for Life in 1834?
Now, why is this movie NOT on DVD for the public? BTW, the Mexican artillery was NOT use during the battle!
Finally, we agree on something. There should be a DVD.

I think the Mexican army tryed a surprise attack that morning i don't think they played the band before the attack.
The band played during the battle, to try and inspire the Dictator's army.
Nicely done, although I think it took three charges by Santa Anna's forces to break the
Alamo defenders. The Mexicans were charging a fortified strong point frontally--not a very good idea. They were from an agricultural society, and the were using smooth bore Brown Bess muskets against people from a hunting society with rifles. Then too, Santa Anna was generous with the lives of his troops, and medical attention for their wounded was poor. The two best traditional studies I know of are by Lon Tinkle and John Myers Myers, if you want to read up on it. The de la Pena diary stirred things up by saying Crockett was captured alive--although he does not say anything derogatory about Crockett--quite the opposite. Myers' account says this was a made up story by a kid to entertain tourists. We'll never know all the details for sure. Accounts are contradictory and uneven. It was democracy vs. dictatorship, however, and if you'd vote for Santa Anna, you'd vote for anybody.
There was only ONE charge, and they overcame the defenders at the southside first, then the northside, where Travis committed suicide.
Democracy for whom? Texans fought and died for several reasons. One was because the Mexicans would not allow them to own slaves. Slavery and democracy do not exactly to hand in hand. Texas has done a very good job of covering over some of the less appealing sides of the 'fight for freedom'.
@@rogerborroel4707 "where Travis committed suicide." - - - and that was proven when? There have been numerous accounts of how Travis, Crockett, etc died, and NONE have been proven to be factual. When it comes to the Alamo siege, there is ONLY conjecture.
@@sjames304 That Travis committed suicide at the north wall was proven on the day of the battle! And it was told to Houston at Gonzales a week later by two of Col. Seguin's men, Andres Barcena & Anselmo Vergara. And Houston believe and even wrote about it to his friend! You need to stop watching Alamo movies and do some serious Alamo research, because you have shown a serious lack of it!
@@normanacree1635 You forget that many native Tejanos also rebelled against Santa Anna because he overthrew the fledgling Mexican democracy.
Fascinating to see the mexicans had recoiless cannon........
The alamo defenders should have went to Goliad more combined force would've held longer, in my opinion the alamo defenders were lied to why else would they have stayed . It made no sense for the alamo to be defended when goliad was behind them

8:59 Jim bowies death
5:04 Travis death
It is a fairly well done scene, although with certain historical errors, Travis, for example, died in the initial moments of the assault due to a bullet he received in the forehead. They exaggerate the number of Mexican losses too much, there seems to be hundreds of deaths, the reality is that the most realistic and modern estimates show casualty figures for the Mexican army that leave them at 60-80 dead and twice as many wounded, without mentioning that the compañero Who says that the battle lasted 90 minutes is wrong, the massacre, because it was a massacre that lasted just over 25 minutes, including the search for the wounded and subsequent executions. Sadly, the defenders of the Alamo did not inflict the casualties or damage on Santa Anna that the Americans like to believe.
About 500 is what I have found,but your figure is probably closer.
According to Stephen Hardin's "Texian Iliad", the Alamo garrison was alerted to the Mexicans' presence when one of the soldiers in the assault columns shouted, "¡Viva Santa Anna!" and hundreds of other Mexicans soldiers repeated the cry. Santa Anna was incensed because he believed the shouting would alert the Texans, which it did. (Close to what the movie shows, but not quite.) So the Texans the chance to inflict heavy casualties on the Mexican columns before they made their way into the Alamo. Stephen Hardin believes as many as six hundred Mexican soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle, "one third of the assault force, which had been composed of Santa Anna's best battalions." A survivor said, "With another such victory, we will all go to the devil."
Another attempt by a Lefty to minimize the Alamo. The truth remains despite your piss poor attempt to change history.
Yes, 60 Mexican soldiers died outright on the battlefield, however during the next two week another 50 died of wounds. About 110 died and there were about 200 wounded who lived after the battle.
@@rogerborroel4707 I see you have bought into the revisionist history. Those numbers are wrong. One cannon blast from the Alamo filled with grapeshot would kill and maim over 60 soldiers. There is little logic applied to your version.
Travis committed suicide! BTW, what's with all the hay on the roofs?
Where is your proof?
@@mercedesgonzalez1658 The proof was given on the day of the battle, not 40 or so years later. Two soldiers under the command of Colonel Juan Seguin, who were in the town, reported it. Here are their names: Anselmo Vergara & Andres Barcena.
@@rogerborroel4707 How would they know how Travis died? There were no living witnesses.
@@mercedesgonzalez1658 No doubt they received the data from someone that day while they were still there. But it's credible simply because it was given on the day of the battle, and why would the Texan's Mexican allies said that in the first place? I researched their Texan army records, and they were still a part of the Texan army until 1839 - both loyal to the new nation of Texas. As for "living witnesses" there were plenty, members of the Mexican army who took part in the battle who later gave their accounts. Plus there were 18 civilian survivors too.

It's about time that we have some type of Memorial for the Mexican troops who die in the battle; it's WAY overdue folks! They are the heroes for defending their country against illegal aliens from the States.

Your smoking crack
The Alamo, when Texans and Tejanos fought Mexico to have the freedom to keep slaves. Santa Ana was there to enforce the abolition of slavery in Mexico’s Northern state of Texas. Only one Tejano signer on the document for the Constitution of the Republic of Texas, which protected the rights to keep slaves, and prohibited Indians and Africans from living freely in the country or from becoming citizens, as neither owner or the Texas Congress would allow emancipation of slaves. Nor could the descendants of Africans or Indians become citizens.
They were fighting for FREEDOM
freedom to own black slaves
What a slap in the face to men like abolitionist Dr. Amos Pollard, the Alamo surgeon! Please take your benighted tunnel vision elsewhere.
This is one of the worst rendering of the Alamo battle on film. Yes, I know this is a MOVIE and not a documentary.
What other movie does the battle more accurately??
@@roberdink Really none, however, certain portions of the battle scenes in Alamo 2004 were on the mark, but not all. The lousiest scene was of Crockett dying that way, no Mexican witness describes that. Crockett was found in back of the Long Barrack and brought to Santa Anna as he was making a victory speech. Witnesses state that he and several others were killed within moments by swords and bayonets. Remember, of the 253 Alamo defenders, at least 125 (est.) jumped from the east walls and died under the lancers of General Sesma's cavalrymen. The battle THERE was just as intense as the Alamo defenders sought to fight to survive, it must have been a desperate death struggle outside those Alamo walls.
@@roberdink period films are hard to make. I think the last film that was made was a alot better this one.this one is not so great. but I think the best one has not been made yet.
@@rogerborroel4707 I agree with you.
@@alfx5432 This final battle scene is better than the 2004 version.
The true story of the Alamo was the Mexicans were fighting for their land why the Americans were trying to steal it
Come and take it Desroaches. No surrender. No retreat.
Wrong! 5 other Mexican states were also under rebellion. Santa Anna had thrown out the Constitution of 1824 and declared himself dictator. Your false narrative is complete BS. Learn some history. Both Spain and Mexico had recruited Anglo settlers as a buffer to the Comanches.
@@joewatson7676The Mexican government had outlawed slavery so that would have stymied Texan intentions to import black slaves for their future plantation plans.
@@beachcomber1able yes they did. But that has zero influence on why Texas and 5 other Mexican states were in rebellion.
@@joewatson7676 A whole bunch of Anglos came to Texas to start new lives then suddenly realised they were being oppressed by the Mexican dictator Santa Anna.
